objection, it appears below:                                                                        
                                                                                                    
    Dear God, Thou searcher of men's hearts, we pray for each                                       
    representative this day.  As one nation under God, grant                                        
    strengthening for clear thinking in all that shall come before                                  
    them this day.  Encourage each one to live above the common                                     
    level of life.  Save them from floundering in indecision, cause                                 
    them to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong                                     
    and never let them be content from half truth when the whole                                    
    can be won.  Endow them with courage when truth and right                                       
    are in jeopardy.  Grant to each, new ties of friendship and new                                 
    opportunities of service this day, we pray.  Amen.
